The principle

Travel posters sell a place through atmosphere, not facts. Classic examples used simplified landscapes, bold colour and confident type. Inventing a city frees you from clichés and lets you design a whole world: its climate, culture, architecture and personality.

Objective. Build a complete visual world for an invented place.

The brief

Invent a city — its name, climate and one defining feature — and design a travel poster inviting people to visit.

Constraints

  • Write a short description of the city first
  • The poster must suggest climate and culture
  • Maximum five colours

You're done when

  • A vivid, invented world
  • A clear invitation to visit
  • A cohesive palette and style

Stretch goal

Design a second poster showing the same city at night.
